サンジャヤは結ぶ。「かくして、尊き『マハーバーラタ』において、ドローナ・パルヴァのうち—とりわけ『ガトートカチャ討伐』の章段—夜戦のくだりにおける、アラガンブシャ討伐を扱う第百七十四章はここに終わる。」この奥書は、夜の戦が常の戦の規矩を崩し、義務（ダルマ）・自制・不可避の必要をめぐる問いをいっそう苛烈にする、道義と策謀の動揺の中に物語を位置づけている。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon rather than a didactic verse, it teaches structurally: the epic frames violent events within named episodes, reminding the reader that war—especially night-fighting—tests dharma and restraint, and that each act (such as a slaying) is to be understood in its narrative and ethical context.
Sañjaya signals the completion of a chapter in the Droṇa Parva: within the Ghaṭotkaca-slaying section and the broader night-battle context, the chapter whose subject is the slaying of Alagambuṣa has ended.
